Receive e-mail on Arch server

Sorry if this is the wrong place, nothing else seemed quite right.  I'm trying to set up an Arch server so that i can route e-mail through it, right now I have heirloom mailx set up so I can send e-mails fine, but i want to be able to receive them as well.  Ideally, I would like to be able to send an e-mail to user@my_ip or user@my_ddns, receive it on the Arch server, run it through a script, and send it back out.  I'm not really sure how e-mail works at all, is this even possible?  What would I need to do it?  I'm really only interested in getting mail for one user, I've tried tutorials for setting up big mail servers but they didn't work for me.  Thanks!


Edit:  I got sendmail (from the AUR) running with the -bD option, and when I run /usr/bin/mailq I can see my requests being denied each time I send another e-mail from gmail.  I've done some configuration with sendmail, but maybe I set it up wrong?  I have my DDNS name in local-host-names, but I'm not sure how to set up the aliases.
